A New Outlook

Chapter 2

Recaption: Sasuke watched as Naruto went along with Sakura, to pick out a seemingly decent swimsuit that would at least flatter her in any department, and it was revealed as he stood with onyx ocules watching the two, that something finally came to mind. He was somehow fond of Sakura in a way, despite her constant badgering and flirting..

The scene was that of any ordinary clothes shop that a female would walk into, however the number one maverick ninja was laying against the wall with his legs sprawled out, a deep yawn just ready to leap from his lips as his fox-like visage curled along with it in total boredom. It had already been three or four of those so-called tankinis of pink and black or black. They all flattered Sakura in his opinion but in her opinion something just wasn't good enough for her.

Emerging from the dressing room she roused a sleepy Naruto from his daze, Sakura was wearing a bikini that looked like it had a shuriken snap in the front. An instant blush came to Naruto's cheeks. It flattered Sakura along each curve, he couldn't help but stare. 'The way Naruto is staring it must be good..' Inner Sakura declared practically with a hint of confidence while posing her best inner Sexy jutsu pose. "What are you staring at?" Sakura simply barked towards Naruto whom she had actually come to admire during the Chuunin exams, he had shown himself to be more than just some class clown. He actually had abilities. "Eheh nothing Sakura." Naruto grinned with a laugh while pressing his arm along with hand behind his head trying to remain calm. 'She always looks nice no matter what she wears, and she actually let me come along with her today..' He continued to reverie in his own mind as Sakura was shopping for more accessories to go with her outfit.

Looking around a rack of hats and sunglasses while trailing behind Sakura, Naruto was looking positively bored. "Here Naruto hold this up, I can't quite hold it!" Exclaimed Sakura while moving a box into his hands, and the rustle of clothes was heard, to a certain Hyuuga female this sounded quite embarrassing, especially to her since her breath was caught into her throat and she dropped the armful of clothes she was carrying. 'A-ano.. N-Naruto..and Sakura?" Hearing words of 'can you get this Naruto I think it's stuck.' Hinata blushed making her face pale even more than usual in comparison before she collapsed near the rack of clothes. Gaining her strength, no longer having the heart to listen to it anymore or what she thought she was hearing she ran out in a deep blush only to run into a certain member of the Inuzuka clan and his familiar, a white pup. "K-Kiba-kun.." Hinata said as she got up from the ground then continued to run off without a warning. "What's her deal?" Kiba looked down at the pup stuck in his sweatshirt, then shrugged his shoulders before entering the shop. At the register was the dobe whom had defeated him in a match during the preliminaries as well as injure Akamaru on his own account.

"Hey dunce." Kiba grinned as he saw Naruto turn around clueless. "Oh hey Kiba." Naruto simply said like nothing bothered him whatsoever with his usual fox grin. "So you hear? We're all going to Takamichi Beach! All the teams even the ones that were from different villages." Kiba grinned as Akamaru leapt onto Naruto's head.

"All of us, but Kakashi-sensei said that it was just a break for our team from missions." Sakura began while receiving her bags she had just paid for. 'It's so like him to keep us in the dark!' Inner Sakura was yelling while holding up a fist. Something suddenly dawned on Sakura, if they weren't the only team going, then.. Lee..oh no he would fawn over her constantly. Hanging her head low she let out a sigh, then glared towards Kiba because he had been the bearer of this news. 'Thanks a lot Dog boy!' She screamed inwardly. 'I hope you and your mutt both are plagued with fleas!' Not paying any attention to the sudden Naruto who was flailing around the shop knocking over racks of clothes and what not because of a white pup clinging to his ear, Sakura marched straight over to Naruto and pinched the white pup from his ear and gently flung him towards Kiba. "Hey Kiba, do us all a favor especially Naruto," She was about to say something she would usually only say in her head in a different personality. "Keep you as well as your dog's fleas to yourselves." With a childish tongue sticking out she commenced to dragging Naruto from the shop with her bags in hand leaving a shocked as well as amused Kiba behind.

"Aren't you two the cozy couple?" Sasuke asked, Naruto and Sakura with a hidden look of digression in his visage, before walking away with his fists curled at his sides. Leaving a stunned Sakura behind whom only stuttered a few words. "W-wait.. S-Sasuke-kun.." Her hand held outwards to him she didn't say much to him the much morning either as they set out for Takamichi Beach with things in hand.

Couples are still on vote!

Next Chapter: Everyone arrives at Takamichi Beach, meets up. Lee stalks Sakura as usual when he sees her. Plus the true meaning of the trip to Takamichi Beach.
